We study the non-abelian Hopf cohomology theory of Radford products with coefficients in a comodule algebra. We show that these sets can be expressed in terms of the non-abelian Hopf cohomology theory of each factor of the Radford product.…

Extended Abelian monopoles are investigated in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in three dimensions. Monopoles are computed by Abelian projection in several gauges, including the maximal Abelian gauge. The number $N_m$ of extended monopoles in a…

The classical Hopf invariant is defined for a map f: S^r -> X. Here we define `hcat' which is some kind of Hopf invariant built with a construction in Ganea's style, valid for maps not only on spheres but more generally on a `relative…

We study Frobenius 1-morphisms $\i$ in an additive bicategory $\c$ satisfying the depth 2 condition. We show that the 2-endomorphism rings $\c^2(\i\x\ib,\i\x\ib)$ and $\c^2(\ib\x\i,\ib\x\i)$ can be equipped with dual Hopf algebroid…

There are two notions of exponent of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras introduced and studied in the literature. In this note, we discuss and compare their properties including invariance and finiteness in this note. Specifically, one notion…

We build on our construction of Hopf algebroids from noncommutative calculi under the further assumption of surjectivity for the calculus. We also introduce the notions of Hopf ideals and isotopy quotients for arbitrary Hopf algebroids.…

Building on the work of Nenciu we provide examples of non-factorizable ribbon Hopf algebras, and introduce a stronger notion of non-factorizability. These algebras are designed to provide invariants of $4$-dimensional $2$-handlebodies up to…

Topological defects are central to modern physics, from spintronics to photonics, due to their robustness and potential application in information processing. In this work, we discuss topological point defects that spontaneously emerge at…

The ambient framed bordism class of the connecting manifold of two consecutive critical points of a Morse-Smale function is estimated by means of a certain Hopf invariant. Applications include new examples of non-smoothable Poincare duality…

An example of a finite dimensional factorizable ribbon Hopf C-algebra is given by a quotient H=u_q(g) of the quantized universal enveloping algebra U_q(g) at a root of unity q of odd degree. The mapping class group M_{g,1} of a surface of…

We consider Hopf Galois structures on a separable field extension $L/K$ of degree $p^n$, for $p$ an odd prime number, $n\geq 3$. For $p > n$, we prove that $L/K$ has at most one abelian type of Hopf Galois structures. For a nonabelian group…

We consider "Hopfological" techniques as in \cite{Ko} but for infinite dimensional Hopf algebras, under the assumption of being co-Frobenius. In particular, $H=k[{\mathbb Z}]\#k[x]/x^2$ is the first example, whose corepresentations category…

We characterize decomposable principally polarized abelian varieties of the form $E\times B$, with $E$ an elliptic curve, in two different ways, which are, surprisingly, completely analogous to classical results of curve theory concerning…

In this paper we define the bi-orthogonal sectional curvature and we present two modified Yamabe invariants for compact 4-dimensional manifolds. In particular we obtained a relationship between one of these invariants and a Hopf conjecture.

We consider noncommutative principal bundles which are equivariant under a triangular Hopf algebra. We present explicit examples of infinite dimensional braided Lie and Hopf algebras of infinitesimal gauge transformations of bundles on…

We consider two-dimensional (2d) quantum many-body systems with long-range orders, where the only gapless excitations in the spectrum are Goldstone modes of spontaneously broken continuous symmetries. To understand the interplay between…

In this talk I discuss a recently developed "Unfolded Quantization Framework". It allows to introduce a Hamiltonian Second Quantization based on a Hopf algebra endowed with a coproduct satisfying, for the Hamiltonian, the physical…

We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…

Using orbifold metrics of the appropriately signed Ricci curvature on orbifolds with negative or numerically trivial canonical bundle and the two-dimensional Log Minimal Model Program, we prove that the fundamental group of special compact…

We introduce a notion of rank completion for bi-modules over a finite tracial von Neumann algebra. We show that the functor of rank completion is exact and that the category of complete modules is abelian with enough projective objects.…
